I would agree with that too, I’ve got a bad feeling it could be down to the mood of the planning officer on the day considering how ambiguous the wording is.

As I explained in my initial post...if the conservatory is part of the house elevation then I can't build the garden room as it would be between the side elevation (of the conservatory) and the boundary. So is a conservatory considered as part of the house elevation or not? My quick mockup above...

I agree but I still don't know if a conservatory is considered part of the elevation for planning. Conservatories are classed as temporary structures so it would seem pretty strange if they are also considered part of the elevation.

We are looking to have a garden room built in our garden which is in a conservation area and flood zone 2. I called my local planning department and asked some questions but they just said "we can't give any advice" so I've spent the past few days heavily researching permitted development...
